Are you an investor, first home buyer or young professional looking for the perfect inner city lifestyle location at an affordable price point? Well, this one is your perfect match. Welcome to resort-style living in the heart of Highgate, on the city fringe, walking distance to bustling Beaufort Street. This spacious two-bedroom apartment has got the lot! It has secure gated access for residents, has a fabulous swimming pool area, a full-size tennis court, and there's even pedestrian gate access at the rear providing direct access on to beautiful Brigatti Gardens, a tree-covered park with playground. Walk down Broome Street and you'll hit Beaufort Street. Here you'll be spoiled for choice day and night between cafes, eateries/restaurants, bars, pubs, shops and small convenience stores. Located within the sought-after catchment areas of Highgate Primary School and Mount Lawley Senior High School. The best of Perth is all on offer right here. Some regard this as the best strip in P-town and we agree. This is a lifestyle location second to none. Not that you necessarily need a car in such a location but there's undercover secure carparking for one vehicle behind remote-controlled gated access. Named "Peachtree Lane", this mid 1980's is a low-rise complex comprising 50 apartments and comes complete with a newly renovated lift that takes you from the carpark directly up to your second-floor apartment (third floor is the top). Step inside and the apartment feels quite spacious and is fully tiled throughout. The kitchen with breakfast bar and upright electric stove faces an open-plan family/dining area that leads to a small outdoor balcony providing a nice place to sit and relax overlooking the swimming pool down below. And there's plenty of greenery in the way of mature plants and trees to soften the view on the eyes. A reverse cycle split-system air-conditioner is wall mounted in the main living area and provides comfort all year round. The two bedrooms are located at the front and rear of the floor-plan and both are a good size, featuring built-in-robes and ceiling fans. Given the separation of the bedrooms, it is a great apartment for two people sharing too. The bathroom is combined with the laundry and has an oversized shower-recess with a vanity and toilet. The laundry section is located on the opposite wall and has its own overhead cupboards. It's plenty big enough and is designed in a very functional manner.
